[Bug 43322] EOG crashes when stopping slideshow

[Emmanuel Touzery]

Public bug reported:

Affects: eog (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
there is a very big bug in EOG 2.14.1 present in dapper: start a slideshow, then cancel it using ESCAPE. you'll likely trigger a crash.
according to the upstream bug report it's mostly when you cancel when a new image just appeared in the slideshow. but for me it's all the time.

i think the bug is very critical. dapper doesn't look good at all if the image viewer crashes just by doing a slideshow. for now upstream didn't fix it yet.
this is a request that ubuntu developers consider distributing the fix in dapper as soon as it's applied in CVS (assuming it will be applied on time), even if EOG developers don't make a release, and even if it's quite late in dapper schedule.

i think it's a very serious bug like the nautilus crash on right click
"make archive" was in breezy, that required to upload the fix in breezy-
updates since so many people where hitting it.
